The ridiculousness about Elon Musk’s hand gesture reminded me of something: In his memoir of Spain before and during their civil war, Arturo Barea said that on one occasion, he was showing a friend how tall a child was–“like this,” he said, holding up his hand to indicate the height. He was accused of giving the Fascist salute, and was saved from the firing squad only by the intervention of credible friends.

Anyone else remember the old “seen kyle” meme?

It just makes you wonder, if they really believe all this nazi stuff, why isn’t it more blatant? Nazis aren’t known for their subtlety.
And thus the “media” asymptotically approach the point where nobody, not even democrats, believe anything they say.
I guess they all see what they want to see. Years ago I read an interesting book by Erik Larson, The Garden of the Beasts. It’s about this University of Chicago Professor (a Segway of sorts!) who was picked to be ambassador of 1933 Germany. (Roosevelt couldn’t find anyone in the state dept who wanted the job, imagine that! ;-) )
Anyway Larson went to great lengths to tell how the Nazis seized psychological control in Berlin – by beating and intimation – there were 100 “torture centers) where one would be taken for failure to give the “Hitlergruss”.
Anyway I saw the segment on Elon and that was laughable as a Hitler Greeting”.
I am amazed at the difference in political landscape with Trump 2.0 – I think these leftists will become marginalized.
Saw a video today of the Haitian gang member being rounded up by ICE giving a defiant yell and a “thanks” to Biden and Obama – that can’t be supported by the majority.
much of Larsons work, his Churchill tome is very good, alas he was afflicted with the Orange Man derangement re the Civil War William Dodd is the Ambassador
